Random acts of kindness

There's something cool about doing a good deed for perfect strangers.

Because the fact is, you don't know that person, probably will never run into them again and won't expect them to return that favor.

So it's all on you choosing to do an of kindness that might never be recognized, except by God. There is something magical about it. You feel as though you're one step closer to making the world a better place.

Maybe it doesn't feel magical to you when you do something. But have you ever been the person on the receiving end? It's like feeling something magical just happened.

I'm walking down my campus one day when I did a slight trip over nothing. I looked down to see that my flip flop had came off. Confused, I stopped and raised my foot and saw that my flip flop had broken.

I heard laughter while I picked up my shoe to inspect it. Yeah, I probably did look funny to them.

It was broad daylight, and there were several there people that probably saw what happened. Curious though, I glanced slightly to see where the laughter came from. Seemed like a group of girls but I couldn't care enough to make an effort to look at them.

It was hopeless, there was no way I could fix it and walk around in it. But they were my favorite slippers, so I stuck it in my Mary Poppins Bag (the bag that holds everything).

Sigh. I really love these slippers.

I looked down, trying to figure out what to do. I decided that my jeans would pretty much cover my foot and save me from too much embarrassment. I mean, besides from those that had seen what happened, and had found it amusing.

My dad was around the corner waiting for me anyways. I’d be there in another five minutes. I picked up my head, and kept walking.

Good thing I didn't drive today

Still, I was a bit conscious when I realized that my jeans weren’t doing a very good job covering my foot. And I looked kinda lame walking with an awkward shuffle.

OMG that was so sweeeeeeeeet! May Allah reward her. Something like this happened to me too, well not with the shoe. You know that one outdoors parking lot I used to always park my car in, the one in front of structure two?? One day, I drove up to the entrance and swiped my card to find out that it didn't work. I panicked because I didnt have any money left on the card and didn't know where the heck I would park...and there were so many cars behind me so no way could I reverse and get outta there. I kept swiping my card and it still failed to let me in. Then the girl behind me ran out of her car and swiped it for me, with a smile on her face telling me, "Here you go!" It was soooo nice of her and totally made my day! :)

I love random acts of kindness. This reminds me of the guy who picked me up a few months ago in the rain when my car broke down. It is nice to know there are still a few good people left in this world.

That was something sweet she offered to do...angels..It reminds me of a time when i was in campus, i was feeling very down and as i walked to campus i met this girl that said hi and told me to smile no matter what i was going through, i never saw here again but I've never forgotten her.
